   The temperature gradient within the crust varies significantly. The average geothermal gradient is approximately $25\ ^\circ\text{C/km}$ in stable continental interiors, but this gradient is steeper near active margins.
   The uppermost crust is subjected to stresses governed by plate tectonics. These [stresses](/entries/stress…
